Lol nice fail here...

I am pretty sure it had pullrods at the rear (which caused dampers accessibility problems in testing), but then the pic from Marcush indicates otherwise. I'll keep searching.

As for the pullrods, yes they have been around for ever and were common in the 80s. But late 90's and 00's pushrods were very much the norm (Arrows A21 excluded, I will remember that one ).

Anyway, move on, nothing to see here anymore.

What was the exact cause for Ayrton Senna retiring from the San Marino GP in 1990?

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Broken Rim?

[Sebp]

Broken rim is correct. But why did it break?

A stone sliced through the rim.

[Sebp]

Yes that's it. A stone was caught between wheel hub and rim and machined it down 'til it broke.

[xpensive]

Correct!

A gold-star if anyone could elaborate on what xactly happened to his brakes, it was a very specific?
